Sigh. You first put an example where after a linebreak an accidental is
repeat on a tied note. I comment on that.
Then you explain that in the original score you are working from, there
is no such accidental. I now make a different statement starting with
"In that case, ..."
Now you are confused that I made two different statements.
I have a real problem understanding the source of your confusion.
If you change the rules according to which accidentals are typeset in
relation to your original score, _obviously_ the situation as a
consequence of your changed rules is a different one. That was the
whole point of changing the rules.
Again: you are making an editorial decision here. There are several
valid decisions you can make. The important thing is _documenting_ your
decision so that
a) the reader knows which pitch to play
b) the reader knows what was originally written
The latter point is only relevant when doing a critical edition, and
particularly relevant when doing an Urtext.
